We heard last night that the DISPOSE
tion of the members OF the Law and
order League war TO vote for candidates
who are not members of their order, pro-
yided they were not Knights Of Labor
This seems to be fair enough. If the
Knights are representing the working
men fairly and as Democrats, let them
vote for candid, les who are not knights
provided they are not members Of the
League.
Here is the opportunity for compro-
mise in which all Democrats can join.

THf PRIMARY

The postponement of the primary ciec-
ton indicates more confusion in the
Democratic ranks which should be rem
sdied a. soon as possible, and we believe
that the remedy Is to ask all Democrats
to show their colors and allow no margin
for any movement that may lead off Dem
ocraiic voters under false pretences.
Every man has a perfect right to vote a.
he pleases, and We oppose in this case, as
IN all others, any attempt to whip in the
members OF party by threats or criti-
Csms
But II Is too late now 70 deny that
there Is scheme to muster some Of the
Democrats under the same banner with
Mshones colored cohort, and with GER
tain pretences that hide the Interior OBJ
ieci which il Malone victory. Let Us
ask the Democrats Of Richmond to weigh
exactly the odium of that thing called
a coalition" and 10 beware lest good
men be smirched with the CRIME Of bad
company before they know it.
Il is true that the Democracy has at
times been badly harnessed in the traces
of foolish purpose, by short sighted men.
But its worst chapter is pious story
10 the best that the Virginia Republicans
can show, and the advantage is that it is
more pliable TO popular will. We can see,
therefore, how a Democrat may at times
decline - vote with his party, but we
DO not see how he can with patriotism
and good sense join any movement that
tends to defeat hi, party, and that is the
social, political, and moral proposition,
which enters into Richmond politics to-

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Piney Grove Alliance mourns the death
of our esteemed and beloved brother, E.
G. Richardson. He was taken i'll at
Wakefield High School and came home
and died on the 9TH inst. He had been a
faithful member of Hepzabah Church for
five years. All that tender and loving
hearts could suggest was done for him.
His devoted parents, throughout his con-
tinement, were as devoted as possible,
and his friends rendered all the aid and
sympathy they could, but it was the will
of the Master. Just before he died he
sang: II am coming, Lord, to thee and
his peaceful spirit took it's flight.
He was tenderly buried by his school
mates, his loving teacher, Rev. Mr..
Struggled, officiating. His sermon was
full of deep and tenderest love.
His Alliance brethren met and passed
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That in the death Of our be-
loved brother, E. G. Richardson, this
Alliance has lost a faithful member, and
the community a most exemplary young
man., and the church one of it's firmest
supporters; but in recognition of the wis
dom and goodness of God, we bow in
humble submission to this dispensation,
and invoke his tenderest mercies on the
heart-stricken and bereaved family.
Resolved, That as a tribute of respect to
the memory of our deceased brother,
this Alliance will wear the usual badge of
mourning thirty days.
Resolued, That a copy of these resolu-
tons be transmitted to the family of our
deceased brother, and also a copy to The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER for publication.

PROGRESSIVE FARMER. NOVEMBER "a. 1897.

Now that the agricultural fairs for
this season are about over, we should at
once avail ourselves of the lessons they
have given us. We should go about cor
recting mistakes at once, and see to it
that they do not occur again. 1t is too
often the case that a few live, e~nterpris-
ing, public-spirited men, have to bear all
the burdens, and should they make any
mistakes, are condemned by the public.
We have too many ~do-nothing GROWERS
in the country. Now these remarks are
intended for every reader of THE Pro-
GREssIvE FARMER. If your Fair fell short
of your expectations, if the managers
made mistakes, do not complain and muir
muir, and thus cripple your Fair, but like
a true man, go to work in earnest and
see that the next Fair is a success. Put
your w shoulder to the wheel and push.

HOW'S THIS.

r. One of our truckers has this year sold
S1,360 worth of spinach from one and
one-quarter acre Of land. The same
piece is now in egg plants, of which
he has sold $500 worth and is still
shipping, and will continue to ship
until frost comes here, say until the
middle of October. The spinach and
egg plants were both grown inside Of
twelve months. 1t looks as though
the sum total from the two crops from
this one and one-quarter acre of land
would reach nearly $4,000 in a single
year. And yet the capacity of the
soil is not fully tested. The owner of
this nj and one-quarter acre can show
from his books that during the past
five years he has shipped from this
small piece of land over S., 900 worth
of produce. He is a Pennsylvania
Quaker, and can't tell a lie either.
"He does it with his little hoe and
shovel" But see here, friends, you
could not do this; you need not think
you could. The egg plant would re-
fuse to clay" for you, and your first
crop of spinach would no doubt run
you in debt. There Isl nothing like
knowing how, and when, and where.
The when is now; the where is here,
and the how is found out by expert
ence, observation and a strict attention
to business Cornucopaa.

ORGANIZERS.
(OFFIcIAL.)


The demand for organizers, is so ear
sections Of, our State, and applications for
commissions are being made in such sin
gular form, that it is deemed. for the more
expeditions and more thorough and eff
cient organizations of u State, that a
number Of earnest, competent and devoted
brethren be commissioned at the earliest
practicable time, and sent to different por-.
tons, of the State.
This is, therefore, to notify such as may
desire commissions, that applications
should be made, by letter, to the President
of the State Alliance, Charlotte, N. c., or
in person to u State Organizer, Bro. N.
81. c. Elliott. In either case the appli-
cant must furnish testimonials as to char
acter, capacity and fitness for the work.
In all cases it is absolutely essential to
good work and success, that the organizer
should. be thoroughly instructed in the Sc.
cret work Of the order and in the prinoi-
Piles, purposes and business plans of the
order.ts Fhe; State Organizer being thor
oughlY ;yersed,i in all the work Of the Or
der, in detail will gladly impart full in
structions Il all who may be appointed.
1t is highly important that each m ap-
pointed should spend few days with the
State Organizer, in his work and, thus
learn practically the duties he must per-
form. We want good, earnest, active,
capable men for this work, and men of
character and integrity, who will devote
themselves faithfully to it.

GOOD ENOUGH

Rsssoss Given for voting for Gevsrnor
Foraker BY . Ssasibls Gsatlsmss.
A gentleman who has been at various
times in both political parties, and has
cast his vote according to the dictates of
his Judgment and conscience, said that
he saw no reason, why any man should
vote for Mr.. Powell. and that he would
vote for Governor Foraker and the whole
Republican ticket. The following are
few of :he reasons which he gave for do
ing So. He said:
Il shall vote for Governor Foraker be
cause the Democrats of Ohio are for free
trade, and every time protection to Amer
lean industries is taken away il has re-
suited in idle men and idle capital
Because with every honest man de-
sire to rebuke fraud and forgery as cleo
ton methods, and the first manager Of an
Ohio campaign in which they were first
employed. His name is T. f. Powell.
Democratic candidate for governor
IL also want an honest economical and
trustworthy legislature, and from the ex-
this can be had only by voting the Re
publican ticket and for the Republican
members Of the Legislature.
Because the Republican party gave us
the Dow law. by which the liquor inter
ests bear part of the burden OF taxation.
and my taxes are thus lessened. and il
the Democratic party is successful it will
Il l.. l..
did the Scott law.
Governor Foraker has given Ohio All
able, business like, economical and bril-
liant administration. and deserves en-
dorsement. He has corrected abuses in
public service. and places state institu-
tions on basis of honesty, economy and
efficiency.
Il know from what l have learned OF
Mr. Powell's manner OF conducting his
own business that he is not the sort Of a
business man to whom | would desire to
entrust public business. and l know of
nothing whatever in Mr.. Powells favor.
and have noticed nothing in the line of
campaign arguments from the Democrats
except abuse of Governor Foraker, Wilt
fication Of him, and misrepresentation of
his utterances and official statements.
Il know that the expense Of main
tanning public institutions has been re
duced under Governor Foraker's admin.
istration, and that the penitentiary. which
under Democratic rule cost the taxpayers
x}w.OH. is now paying its own expenses
without interfering with the rights OF
free labor. and that under Governor For
akers administration the state debt has
been reduced and the rate of interest on
it decreased from per cent to less than
i per cent, which will make my taxes
less
Il expect him to give us for the next
two years the same sort of administra-
tion that he has for the past two years.
and we certainly can not have any better
from anyone. Republican legislature
has reformed the state government and
brought the city Of Cincinnati out of the
cesspools of fraud and corruption in
which il had been dragged under doodle
rule There are many other reasons WHY
feel it my interest and the interest of
every business man and every man, no
matter what his calling, to cast his vote
for J. b. Foraker and honest govern
ment."

HIS TITLE.
HOW FORAKER BECAME A CAPTAIN.

Gen. n. W. Slosum. Distinguished
Dsmocra'. Tells How the Young soldier

Gen. II. W. Slocum, the distinguished
Democrat, has an article in the October
Century on Sherman's march from Ss-
vannah to Bentonyille, from which We
extract the following: Il saw the neces-
sity Of giving him Gen. Shermanl infor-
nation at once IS to the situation. This
information was carried to Gen. Sherman
BY young MAJ not then twenty years Of
age, but who WAS fall of energy and ac-

The Pittsburg TrTnyrny,l,

The Pittsburg ChrDHic'. T.Fryr,y,h
m ,kes this statement of fact
In the October issue OF the Cctt"ry Gen
eral Slocum pays a high tribute 10 Gov.
Foraker, who was attached TO his staff
when only twenty years of age. The Gen
eral says that Foraker was always prompt.
reliable and brave; and was promoted to q
captaincy at that early age for bravery on
the battlefield. This is the man the adj
ministration is trying to defeat for re-elec-
ton as governor of Ohio. but in which it is
Eot meeting with conspicuous success.
One point in this is that General Slocum is
one OF the leading democrats Of New York
State: another fact is that II is true.
